Latest Episodes from the Wednesday in the Word podcast
20 To the Betrothed (1 Corinthians 7:25-40)
Paul concludes his advice on marriage by addressing the engaged. As he explains his thinking, Paul gives us one of the most profound lessons we can learn in this life.
19 To the Rest (1 Corinthians 7:12-24)
In 1Corinthians 7, Paul addresses believers married to unbelievers, and tells them it is best to honor their marriage vows.
18 To the Widowed (1 Corinthians 7:7-11)
In 1 Corinthians 7:7-11, Paul addresses the widows and widowers, telling them both singleness and marriage are good gifts from God. Then he addresses those considering divorce as a way to please God.
17 To the Married (1 Corinthians 7:1-6)
In Corinthians 7, Paul turns to answering specific question the Corinthians asked. The first question concerns the place of sexuality. Paul corrects their view that married people should be celibate.
16 Glorify God in Your Body (1 Corinthians 6:15-20)
Paul argues that the pursuit of sexual purity is a necessary part of following Christ, because we belong to him in a profound way and God created sexuality with a specific meaning.
15 All Things are Lawful (1 Corinthians 6:9-14)
Paul counters two arguments the Corinthians used to justify their choices: “all things are lawful” and “food is for the stomach.”
14 Taking Legal Action (1 Corinthians 6:1-8)
Should believers take other believers to secular law court? Paul confronts the Corinthian church for doing so. But like the other issues he’s addressed, Paul is more concerned with the attitudes behind their taking legal action.
13 Leaven in the Dough (1 Corinthians 5:6-13)
Continuing his discussion of the man having an affair with his stepmother, Paul uses a common biblical analogy that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough. What exactly is he telling us about the church?
12 Ignoring Immorality (1 Corinthians 4:17-5:5)
Paul confronts the Corinthian church about their attitude toward a man having an affair with his stepmother. Paul is concerned with the blatant disregard of God’s law by the man in question, and even more concerned with the attitude the church is taking toward his behavior.
11 Be Foolish to the World (1 Corinthians 3:18-4:16)
Paul concludes the first major section of this letter by urging his readers to repent and imitate him in following Christ and look foolish to the world.
Are there Rewards in Heaven?
Should we expect rewards in heaven for our behavior in this life? If 1 Corinthians 3 does NOT teach that we will receive rewards in heaven, are there other passages which do teach that doctrine?
10 Rewards in Heaven (1 Corinthians 3:10-17)
1Corinthians 3:10-17 is frequently cited as one of the places that Scripture teaches believers will receive various rewards or crowns in heaven. The context indicates otherwise. Paul is issuing a warning to leaders in the church.
